During anaesthesia..

why do they have the gel type thingy on the eyes of the patient? :konfused:

Re: During anaesthesia..

  1. to prevent the eyes from drying out as your not blinking

  2. to prevent injury to the eye

Re: During anaesthesia..

Why can't they close the eye lids?

Re: During anaesthesia..

they naturally open up slightly, so they are taped shut

Re: During anaesthesia..

Do they?

I didn't know that.

Ah. Ok
